Toshiba Satellite - Stuck on Apple Logo and Loading Circle

Recommended Posts

I wanted to post my specs/issues and see if anyone could offer suggestions. Using Niresh Distro 10.9, stuck on apple logo and loading circle. Have tried many boot flags. See screen shots for verbose data from -v boot flag.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Specs:

Toshiba Satellite U305-S7446 Laptop

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5ghz

Chipset: Intel GM965

Upgraded to 4gb Ram

Graphics: Intel X3100

Will be using an 128gb SSD.

There's not a lot of options in the BIOS, no options for AHCI or HPET.

However I do know that the mobo supports 64bit Windows 8 as I have that currently installed.

In the BIOS I've enabled "EXECUTE-DISABLE BIT CAPABILITY". before enabling that I'd only see the apple logo briefly and it would immediately shutdown. Now it will stay on the apple logo, and I see a loading circle. This happens for at least 10mn-20mn and then it will shutdown.

I have Niresh Mojave USB ready to install onto my Haswell i3 HD4600 on a Gigabyte H87N-WIFI mobo and it boots until the same point every time where it says:
Unsupported CPU
Unsupported PCH
hmm.. mismatch sizes: 3100 vs 20
etc
It's a UEFI mobo so why won't it boot??
